Default i need help NOW

i'm tired of ****************ing with this one bolt.
the top left bolt on the bellhousing of a 93 z28. is impossible...i've tried impact wrenches, my steroid freak brother, and nothing can get this loose and i'm done fooling with it....who's got any ideas

I used a pipe on the ratchet for leverage, and it worked for me.

I used an impact gun with a 4 foot extension and a swivel socket on the end. easy peezy.

Short of that.. use the pipe.

LOL, we had problems with mine too, we used a 2 ft bar on a 12'' ratchet and the bitch broke.

If you are using a bunch of little short extensions buy some extra long ones and see if it helps, You couldn't break it loose with an impact? Was it not lined up right or did it not have enough power?

If you ever pull your engine a small slege and a little finesse will free up some future room for removal, don't go crazy on it but it's a PIA because of the angle, swivels don't like that bolt much either. Good luck with it, impact with an extension would be the best if you have one.

take a torch if you can and heat that bitch up...then try it...it should shrink the bolt a bit...

some c4 should get the job done, if you don't have any handy I would use the advice everyone else has said.

Definitly slip a pipe over the socket wrench. I've had quite a few bolts that wouldn't come out with a impact gun but would using that method. Also soak it in a ton of PB nut blaster.
